865. The middle forms are rare in the older language

The middle forms are rare in the older language (the 3d pl. is decidedly the most common of them, being made from eleven roots; the 3d s. from seven); but all, both active and middle, are quotable except 1st and 2d du. middle and 1st du. active.

a. Atītape appears to be once used (RV.) as 3d sing., with passive sense.
